The primary mission of the University of Washington Engineering Student Council (UWESC) is to promote collaboration between all Engineering Student Organizations (ESOs) and advocate for the needs of engineering students in the College of Engineering and the university at large while making the College of Engineering a safe space for students of all backgrounds and identities.
Additionally, this group serves to enrich extracurricular activities of engineering students and support the development of new ESOs and continuation of existing ESOs.

UWESC calendar
The calendar will be updated periodically with ESC events and meetings. Locations will be communicated to the relevant and invited parties, as these events are not public.
View calendarMonthly meetings
The council meets as a large group once at the start of each month during the regular school year (excludes summer quarter). This provides a space for members to discuss relevant topics and concerns in a safe and collaborative space. Recent discussions have involved the Engineering Program Enhancement Fee that will soon affect students and the delegation of space within the newly established Interdisciplinary Engineering Building team sector.
Engineering Hiring Expo
For several years, the UWESC has assisted in the execution of the Fall Engineering Hiring Expo. Nearly 70 of the most prevalent College of Engineering employers were represented in October of 2025.
This event provides a unique opportunity for students to engage with these companies. Said organizations are recruiting for various full-time, part-time, and seasonal internship and employment positions. UWESC Volunteers were provided with food and eligibility to earn funds for participating in this pivotal event.
History of ESC
The UWESC has been established since 2021 and involved in many pivotal College of Engineering events. These have included the yearly launch, career fairs, allocating fundraising, and gathering student representatives for relevant discussions. Most importantly, this council has served as a liaison between engineering student leaders and upper staff within the college.
